Museum Piece

This is the best one I've seen today:

PBS blowhard Bill Moyers, who, unable to compete in the journalistic free market, has suckled from the public teat for nearly all of his silly career, is hanging it up after he completes the newest edition of his program. Get this:

"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," says Moyers.

Actually, from where Moyers stands, the media probably does appear right-wing. Which pretty much tells you all you need to know about Bill Moyers.

When he's done, they can put him in a museum next to the other unreconstructed Marxist fossils of another age.
